Corporate Counsel, Privacy & Regulatory

Groupon

Chicago, IL 60654

Are you motivated by the thrill of creating new business relationships, and love working in a fast-paced, forward-thinking environment?

Groupon’s mission is to become the daily habit in local commerce and fulfill our purpose of building strong communities through thriving small businesses by connecting people to a vibrant, global marketplace for local services, experiences and goods. In the process, we’re positively impacting the lives of millions of customers and merchants globally. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. If you want to take more ownership of your career, then you're ready to be part of Groupon.

The Corporate Counsel, Privacy & Regulatory will play a meaningful role in advising our global enterprise on U.S. and international privacy, data security, and regulatory matters. As part of our global Privacy & Regulatory team, you will collaborate and work cross-functionally across the legal department and multiple business units, including product, marketing, engineering, information security, and sales. This position is wonderfully multi-faceted role with the opportunity to learn and grow within a team positioned for long-term success.

We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact. We're curious, fun, a little intense, and kind of obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a compelling place to work?
